The Dark Tower (2017)

Stephen King's seven-instalment fantasy series gets the big-screen treatment, with young Brit Tom Taylor (seen in TV's Doctor Foster) playing chosen one Jake Chambers. Blessed with a psychic gift known as "the shine", Jake becomes aware of the titular Dark Tower - a soaring structure that prevents the many dimensions of reality from splitting apart at the seams. It's a power that also attracts the unwanted attention of Matthew McConaughey's Walter Padick, a sinister sorcerer - otherwise known as the Man in Black - locked in an ages-old battle with mysterious protector the Gunslinger (Idris Elba). Nikolaj Arcel, known for the Oscar®-nominated A Royal Affair, directs.
